good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: after his visit to scotland, borisjohnson's charm offensive goes to south wales, as farmers warn the prime minister of the risks of a no—deal brexit. and fears over a no—deal brexit hits holiday money. the pound falls to a two—year low. a former high courtjudge says police may have broken the law in the way they investigated claims of a paedophile ring at westminster. gareth bale pulls out of real madrid's preseason trip to munich after his big money move to china was blocked by the club.

from the hottest day on record to flooding in the north—west all in less than a week — how can business keep up with the ever—changing weather? i'm at the control room of united utilities, one of the uk's biggest water companies, to find out. we are going to see how the weather flow goes when they may have to manage changing weather. and some of us manage changing weather. and some of us will have heavy foundry downpours but the brightest conditions will be in the east and far north—east. more in15 in the east and far north—east. more in 15 minutes. it's tuesday, the 30th ofjuly. our top story. borisjohnson will make his first visit to wales as prime minister later, as he tries to rally support for his vision of farming in a post—brexit britain. it follows a warning from the farmers‘ union of wales that there'll be "civil unrest" in rural areas, if the uk leaves the european union without a deal. let's speak now to our political reporter in cardiff, teleri glyn jones.

good morning to you. a new prime minister arriving in wales for the first time. yes. he continued his charm offensive around the nations of the uk today and today he will be meeting farmers and telling them they can thrive in the case of brexit. but it does come at a time of great anxiety in the industry. last week we were hearing about the fears, especially for the lamb industry. october 31 ‘s peak lamb industry. october 31 ‘s peak lamb industry. at the moment they sell around 90% of their product to the eu and under wto rules in the event ofa eu and under wto rules in the event of a no—deal brexit, the tariffs could be as high as 67% and 85% for beef. although the policy is governed by europe at the moment, and directed by europe, rather, it is governed by the welsh government.

alphas minister here in wales will be meeting the prime minister today but it is expected he will have a frosty reception, similar to what he had in scotland yesterday. mark will tell him he has no mandate for a no—deal brexit and could be catastrophic for wales. at the same time, conservatives are defending a by—election in mid wales so the prime minister ‘s visit could prove to be timely. as talk of a no—deal brexit has ramped up in recent days, the pound has sunk to its lowest level for two years. that could mean good news for tourists coming to the uk, but probably not if you're heading abroad on holiday and particularly to europe. one pound currently gets you around 1.10 euro. if we go back to the start of may, it was getting you 1.17 euro. so if you were taking 500 pounds on holiday, you'll now get about 35 euros less.

let's speak to travel reporter simon calder, he's at heathrow airport for us this morning. this is peak holiday season and people will be feeling this in their pocket. it is a very tough time to bea pocket. it is a very tough time to be a british tourist abroad and i tell you what, those rates you were quoting, 110 euros two a pound, you will not get that here if you turn up will not get that here if you turn upjust will not get that here if you turn up just with cash and ask to change it. we were over at terminal 2 and i asked how much it will cost for 100 euros. the answer was £117, making each pound with a puny 85 euros. sorry, 85 eurocents. so get your money in advance. but still i found this morning was booking online and then collecting from waterloo station in london. ifound one .09.

at the local airport you could maybe manage 1.08 euros for each pound. the dollar, you will struggle to get one .20 but both euro and dollar, if you can get those before you go you will probably get a good rate. if you get any exotic currencies, things like a turkish lira, or a croatian note then do not even think about getting them here. you will getan about getting them here. you will get an excellent rate over there. if you use credit cards, try to get one that does not a foreign exchange fee and do not accept invitations for dynamic currency conversion where they say would you like to pay in pounds? just tell them no. you want to pay in the local currency. and search around for bargains. if you are headed to paris this weekend, the first weekend of the month the museums are free. and some of them

on sunday as well. so much information. thank you very much. a former high courtjudge says police may have broken the law, in the way they investigated claims of a paedophile ring at westminster. last week, carl beech, was jailed for 18 years for perverting the course ofjustice by lying about his claims. sir richard henriques, who carried out a review of the scotland yard inquiry, claims warrants to search the homes of some of those beech had accused may have been obtained unlawfully. andy moore reports. carl beech alleged in police interviews that he had been abused bya group interviews that he had been abused by a group of high—profile men. interviews that he had been abused by a group of high—profile menlj had poppies pinned to my chest while they did whatever they want to do. scotla nd they did whatever they want to do. scotland yard spent £2 million investigating these claims. when the investigation collapsed with no

charges, the retired judge, sir richard henriques carried out an independent enquiry. it was completed in 2016 but never fully published. now so richard has gone to the media with claims the police may themselves have broken the law. the retired armed forces chief lord rommel was one of those accused. former mp harvey proctor was another. but so richard says the police may not have told the whole story when applying for warrants to search their homes. according to him, there were inconsistency in the allegation of carl beech. the police watchdog has also looked at the investigation and concluded there was no evidence that officers deliberately misled the judge. two children aged six and 13 are among those confirmed dead after a shooting at a food festival in america on sunday. four people were killed, including the gunman

who was shot by police. the authorities are still trying to establish a motive for the attack. dave lee reports. what's going on, what's going on?! as the shots rang out, there was at first confusion, and then panic, and eventually disbelief. they're shooting! for most of the weekend, this was the scene of a happy, popular food festival, with around 80,000 people in attendance. but by sunday evening, it had turned into the latest american mass shooting, the 246th in this country, in this year alone. pop. mm. mm. mm. and we just went behind some tents and took cover. and we knew right away when we saw a lot of people just running away from there. we thought it was a firecracker. and then, when i looked to the side, we knew it wasn't. we both turned at the same exact time and saw him standing right there. he was within, what, ten feet of us? yeah, he shot one shot. he was just going back and forth. and then he put the clip in, and he just started moving back

and forth, walking towards our tent because that's where most of the people were in that area, and he just started shooting. police said they took less than a minute to shoot dead the man once he opened fire, but even with that rapid response, the gunman was able to cause carnage with what police described as an ak—47—like rifle. there absolutely would have been more bloodshed, i believe. with the number of people, in the small area that they were in, i think it's very, very fortunate that they were able to engage him as quickly as they did. six—year—old stephen romero is the first victim identified. he had been visiting with his mother and grandmother, who were both wounded. also among the dead, a man in his 20s and a girl aged 13. police confirmed the killer to be santino legan, a 19—year—old man who was able to evade security by cutting through the festival's perimeterfence. he was also able to avoid california's gun laws, the most strict in the country, by simply travelling to the neighbouring state of nevada

to buy the weapon legally. dave lee, bbc news, in gilroy, california. the woman who runs one of the country's leading nhs child sleep services says we're in the middle of a "hidden public health crisis when it comes to sleep". professor heather elphick runs sheffield children's hospital's sleep clinic — which recently ran a pioneering scheme along with the local council and helped 800 children get more sleep. louis lee ray reports. jackie and her twin daughters live near leeds. jessica and jasmine of four and they have always struggled to sleep. they have had a difficult start in life. ace suffered chronic recurring illness and repeated hospital admissions for the first few years were tough. the girl sleep got so bad it was having a devastating effect on the whole

official statistic and the met office. last thursday, we had a new uk temperature record of 38 .7, the second time only since records began somewhere in the uk has reached 38 plus all over 100 fahrenheit. that heat is gone, certainly for now and in the next few days, we have some heavy downpours and gusty winds. from the isle of scilly to the isle of wight. particularly gusty. that is going to strengthen through the course of the day. this area of low pressure is coming in from the south—west. it's continuing to move north—eastward is. gusty winds with it. this morning, we got the heavy showers coming across the south—west. everything moves in an anticlockwise direction. that is where we have the heaviest showers. particularly parts of south—west england and wales. gusty winds as

indicated by the black circles around those. you were showers as we move around those. you were showers as we m ove over around those. you were showers as we move over towards the east but the trees are in bloom. the driest conditions in the far and the east. there were showers around. temperatures and yesterday, about 17- 21 temperatures and yesterday, about 17— 21 degrees. do this evening at overnight, we still have our low pressure area pushing a little bit further north. some of those showers getting across northern ireland in western scotland. some mist and fog across parts of scotland are not a cold night but not as muggy as it was for example last week. we are looking at 14—16 as overnight lows. on wednesday, we still have this area of low pressure, edging towards the north sea. you can see two from the north sea. you can see two from the isobars, still quite gusty winds but not as gusty as today but still, some heavy thundery showers around this area of low pressure. with

blustery winds and also the likelihood of some hail. in between, some sunshine around. it's going to be drier tomorrow to wales and northern ireland. wednesday to thursday, we say goodbye to this area of low pressure but it's still close enough to the east coast of england to be throwing in all this cloud and wanted to showers but essentially, a dry day for much of england and wales. as temperatures rise, we will see some heat of the day showers and some of those could well be heavy but it won't be as windy, temperatures slowly to climb back up again. let's take a look at this morning's papers. the times leads on the slump in the value of the pound. it says traders are predicting further falls in the coming weeks. its main picture is previewing the edinburgh military tattoo which takes place this weekend. the guardian also features the falling pound.

it says the markets reacted to the "escalation of no—deal rhetoric by boris johnson's government". another story on the front page is former labour spin—doctor alistair campbell saying he no longer wants to be a member of the labour party. we'll be speaking to him in the next half hour. the mail has an interview with a formerjudge who says police may have broken the law in the way they investigated claims of a paedophile ring at westminster. carl beech was jailed last week for making up the claims. and the best headline of the morning comes from the mirror. "boris hires mirror chicken as advisor". this is a story about the prime minister's new head of communications lee cain. he's not only a former

reporter at the paper, but he was the man they used to send out to political events dressed up in a chicken costume to heckle prominent tories. pm's aid under masks feathered heroes. you can't make it up. i genuinely didn't understand the headline. there are chicken, something to do with the mirror chicken? i get it now. now, you might remember a few weeks ago american rapper lil nas x joined us on the sofa to talk about his hit single ‘old town road'. i'm going to take my horse to the old town road. i'm going to ride till i can't know more. i'm going to ta ke till i can't know more. i'm going to take my horse to the old town road.

i'm going to ride until i can't know more. head down, across town... the song has now broken the record for spending the longest time at the top of the us singles chart. the track, featuring country music legend billy ray cyrus, has topped the billboard hot 100 for 17 weeks — beating the previous record, held jointly by the 1995 mariah carey and boyz ii men song, one sweet day and the 2017 version of despacito, byjustin bieber. charlie, do you remember... he was with us recently. a lovely, lovely quy- with us recently. a lovely, lovely guy. towards the end of the interview, we are going to see it now, wasn't quite sure what he should be doing. nas is off, see you later now. you walked right across our camera shot but you know how to steal the show. that's why. you've got to come back. here he comes. you just sit there

and relax. the way this works, you have to sit there so you don't go in front of the cameras. ok. he was so relaxed and so charming. so lovely. and one of those bases that was just a sweet, sweet man's base. in that moment in time, it was every bit as much our fault as it was his. yourfault. it was your fault. there we go. the many people, coming out to friends and family is one of the most challenging things they can do but if you are from a religious background, it can be more difficult. five years ago today, dr naz mahmood took his own life after being outed as gay to his strictly religious family. now, a foundation set up by his fiancee, matt, is calling on parents from faith backgrounds to be ‘out and proud' supporters of their children. nomia iqbal has been speaking to him.

sunflowers remind matt of naz, they were his favourite. matt regularly spends time here on a memorial bench for his fiance. they met in their early 20s in a birmingham club. it was love at first sight. that moment, my life changed forever. he sat down, he asked me my name and the third question he asked was, "i'm a muslim, is that going to be a problem?" what was your reaction to that? i had to give it some thought because why would somebody ask me such a profound question? because it didn't make any difference to me. but it did to naz‘s family, whose strict interpretation of islam meant that their son kept his relationship with matt a secret for 13 years. when they did find out, they wanted him to get therapy. it meant that the thing that he cherished the most, the thing that was so important to him which was that identity, the thing that he had to struggle to own and accept, they were basically saying the thing that was the most truthful about him which was himself, had to be got rid

of for him to be accepted. naz was left distraught. within days, he took his own life. matt wants to make sure this never happens again. any parent watching this, please, just hold out your arms, just give your child a big hug and just tell them that you love them. because that one thing might actually just save their life. the leading lgbt+ homeless charity albert kennedy trust is where many people go to get support when their families reject them. in terms of family rejection, is it always to do with faith? it's a complex situation. i won't single out any one faith. i think that when we look back at our stats, like last year, it was almost 50—50 when it came to islamic and christian—based denomination. it's the parents' choice at the end of the day, it's not a religious body that is forcing that parent to make that choice, it's that parent

using religion to make that choice. at the age of eight, samir knew he was gay but kept it to himself for 12 years out of fear of his parents' reaction. when i was a child, essentially, i did think that my entire life i was going to hide being gay. i genuinely thought i would take this secret to the grave. and then when you go to your religious community, everybody there is essentially saying negative things about lgbt stuff as well, and they are quoting the koran saying it says you're going to go to hell. but samir‘s dad looks at it differently. do you think you are an exceptional father in that you're a muslim father, your son has come out and said he's gay? it doesn't matter if he says he's gay or not, you know, i always want to be an exceptional dad. we go on about saving people's lives so i am sure you could save somebody‘s life by saying, ok, you're muslim and you're gay, don't worry about it.

matt is hoping more parents can be like samir‘s. on the fifth anniversary of naz‘s death, he's launching out and proud parents day in order to honour naz‘s legacy. nomia iqbal, bbc news. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning. we're being told we need to plant more trees to combat climate change. our reporter sam fenwick is at the breakfast woodland. good morning, sam. good morning, sam. we are in rural leicestershire at the bbc breakfast woodland. what at the bbc breakfast woodland. what a delight to be here this morning stop here is an avenue of little oak trees. these little trees are about three orfour trees. these little trees are about three or four years old and as they grow, they are doing a really importantjob. grow, they are doing a really important job. they are grow, they are doing a really importantjob. they are sucking up all the carbon dioxide from the air, helping us meet our climate change targets. all we need to plan more of

an offerfrom will prompt you to move. so he got an offer from china will prompt you to move. so he got an offerfrom china involving huge money and he jumped an offerfrom china involving huge money and hejumped at an offerfrom china involving huge money and he jumped at it. an offerfrom china involving huge money and hejumped at it. real madrid have pulled the plug on it so it is another twist in the tail for gareth bale. he has now pulled out of real madrid's trip to munich for their preseason tournament. last week, he said that make the manager said the welshman was close to leaving. he has three years left on his contract and he has won four champions league ‘s title. staying with transfer news and manchester united preseason plans are not settled yet. romelu has been left out of the squad. he has been linked with a move to enter malan. and the squad that has travelled will play tonight. the united manager may have afamiliar tonight. the united manager may have a familiarface tonight. the united manager may have afamiliarface in tonight. the united manager may have a familiar face in the squad. this is his son. you can see a family resemblance there, a little bit. his

was the 2a6th mass shooting in the united states this year. we will talk now to julia from united states this year. we will talk now tojulia from a nearby city of san jose. thank talk now tojulia from a nearby city of sanjose. thank you for talking to us. you got to the scene pretty soon after the shooting took place. can you tell us what you are confronted with? ijust can you tell us what you are confronted with? i just saw so many people gathered in small groups, hugging each other, embracing, people who had been separated during the melee and the shooting trying to find loved ones and when they do just throwing their arms around each other and burying their heads into the shoulders. just a tragic event and, unfortunately, it was not the first. certainly not. and president trump has spoken, calling the attacker a wicked murderer but it must reignite the debate about guns in the united states. it sure does.

it seems to be a never—ending debate and my lung not too much gets done about it. the shooter, a 19—year—old teenager named santino legan purchased the assault rifle legally in nevada, the state next to california and he brought it back to his hometown of gilroy and was able to break through and go through a fence that was surrounding the park and begin shooting. peoplejust fence that was surrounding the park and begin shooting. people just move for cover and unfortunately more than one dozen people were hit. what is the atmosphere like in gilroy now? gilroy is a small town about 30 miles south of silicon valley. and this is a town whose identity really has revolved around garlic. it is considered the garlic capital of the world. this is a place that celebrates garlic and has a big

festival, thousands of volunteers every year, booth and fried garlic foods, calamari... it is a big festival. a homecoming of sorts for eve ryo ne festival. a homecoming of sorts for everyone in gilroy and around the area. tonight they had a vigil, a candlelight vigil and people were just devastated. to a point of how many of these go on just road in morgan hill, a small town as well, just one month ago a disgruntled employee went into a ford dealership and killed his two supervisors before shooting himself. so these don't get reported, some of them don't get reported, some of them don't get reported as widely but they keep adding to the tally. we understand that three people were killed, the gunman as well was killed. of those three who were killed, two were children and one of them was a six—year—old, stephen

romero, the first to be identified by local media. you have spoken to his father? yes, i have. his father is an electrician here in sanjose and he told me early this morning, late last night that he was home with his nine—year—old daughter when he received a call from his wife from the festival. the son was in a bounce house, the two of them at the festival. she said her son had been shotin festival. she said her son had been shot in the back. she was shot in the stomach and the hand and her mother was shot in the leg. and alberto romero told me he thought he must be dreaming, that this could not possibly be true. this is a place that was supposed to be joyful for everyone. the big thing that eve ryo ne for everyone. the big thing that everyone loves to do is try the garlic ice cream. they have garlic ice cream cones and kids love to try that and to have such a celebratory event just devastated by tragedy and a six—year—old boy and a young girl

and a 13—year—old girl dying and others have been injured. it isjust terrific. you alluded to this earlier in your answer but i will ask you again, what difference do you think this will make now, moving forward ? you think this will make now, moving forward? it is hard to say. when there have been so many shootings, when schoolchildren in connecticut we re when schoolchildren in connecticut were gunned down years ago, when high school is in florida were shot bya gunman, high school is in florida were shot by a gunman, it makes it really difficult to see how all the things that politicians say are going to move the needle and stop this. there is so much talk of stopping this and they just keep is so much talk of stopping this and theyjust keep going. julia, a reporter from theyjust keep going. julia, a reporterfrom mercury theyjust keep going. julia, a reporter from mercury news, theyjust keep going. julia, a reporterfrom mercury news, thank you for talking to us this morning. it is tuesday morning, just coming

up it is tuesday morning, just coming up to six a5. let's talk to carol about the weather. how is it that it took, what, four or five about the weather. how is it that it took, what, four orfive days about the weather. how is it that it took, what, four or five days for us took, what, four or five days for us to the official hottest ever temperature? bye for now. there are because it has to be verified. this actual temperature, as you say, is a new uk record of 38.7. it's only the second time since records began that summer in the uk has said 38 degrees plus 100 fahrenheit plus and that was at cambridge university botanic gardens last thursday. very important because of that and for research as well but that is accurate. the met office have now confirmed that is the case. the next few days, the weather is quite changeable. some heavy thundery downpours with hail and gusty winds. low pressure dominating the weather from the south—west and we have showers rotating around it and through the

day and night and tomorrow and even into the next day, we will have some of those heavy and re— showers and gusty winds. from the isles of scilly to the isle of wight, gusting a0, 50 miles per hour as we go through the day. you can see the rotation of the showers we have the bright colours. that is where the heaviest showers are likely to be. the wind certainly a feature. a gust of wind and the black circles. also, if you are camping, it's going to be fairly gusty. again, something few to consider as well. the met office has some yellow warnings out for this. it could well lead to localised flooding. the driest conditions are going to be in the north—east in the east. you are showers and a bit more sunshine. as we head on through the evening and overnight, once again, that area of low pressure continues to northwards and eastwards, taking its heavy thundery downpours with it. some

mist and fog across scotland, poor visibility this morning across the northern isles. we got overnight lows of 1a, 16. low pressure is with us lows of 1a, 16. low pressure is with us wednesday into thursday. you can see how it is still moving in the direction of the north sea. isobars around it, not particularly tightly packed but it will be blustery all around those showers. as temperatures rise through the course of the day, that will encourage further showers to develop. tomorrow, drier across parts of south wales in southern england compared to today stop for northern ireland and scotland, we're still looking those showers. thursday, this low pressure moves into the north sea but it's still close enough to the east coast to be throwing a bit more cloud and some showers. we will see homegrown showers. we will see homegrown showers developed through the course of the afternoon but across southern and western areas, some dry conditions coming our way and in any

sunshine, temperatures continuing to rise a little bit. the end of the week, as we move from friday to saturday and sunday, sunshine and showers but it will feel a bit warmer as temperatures start to slowly climb. when you have these hot temperatures, you imagine the infrastructure of the country, we saw the train problems. of course, when it comes to water, that must be an even bigger problem. sean is going to investigate further. he is at the control room of united utilities. tell us what happens there. really interesting stuff going on behind the scenes because imagine having the hottest day on record ever and having the hottest day on record everand in having the hottest day on record ever and in certain parts of the country, you might see pop—up. having the amount of rainfall, a months worth of rainfall in just 2a

hours in some parts of the north—west. for water companies, they have flowcharts with the forecast from the met office they get is feeding into whatever they wa nt to get is feeding into whatever they want to work out where norton needs to flow. there are loads of business is relying on some kind of forecast, paying money to whether companies to try and give them better data to help them with their businesses over the coming days. he runs a business that you will see now and very much relies on weather forecasts. we had 20 blooms here. the balloon fiesta, you can imagine how busy it take off. we stagger the takeoffs naturally. you get a batch going out and they go on waves and hopefully out across the city and there's nicer than to sit back and watch all the balloons behind you like a string of pearls across the city. the critical thing is always the

weather and we have very detailed specific area reports we get from various met officers and we are very, very weather dependent. we need light winds, in particular no low cloud, good visibility, no rain. the weather forecasters changed tremendously. the met office is to do it ona tremendously. the met office is to do it on a 25— grid square. and now down to1.5 do it on a 25— grid square. and now down to 1.5 kilometres so the a ccu ra cy down to 1.5 kilometres so the a ccu ra cy of down to 1.5 kilometres so the accuracy of the forecast is becoming very good. it's almost like being on a magic carpet. you got the views, there is peace and quiet. and it's just very, very peaceful. a lot of people say, june ever get fed up with balloons? it's my office and it's a hard office to be in, i assure you. it may things a bit tricky. i'm in the control room now. united utilities, they are being told what is needed right now. where there are little red blobs, there might be water supply problems. we

will have a chat to simon chadwick, director of central operations. simon, when you look here at what is going on, the colours behind you, we have the weather forecast in the room next door, what is it that you are doing here. this is our 24-7 control room where we plan all the drinking water the north—west needs. you've got all that to take into account but when you got the forecasting and biggs lodges of rain over the next 2a hours and you've had a heatwave to deal with. how does that play into what you are managing here. that weather forecast helps us predict and how we are going to respond. extreme weather this weekend actually helps us understand how we can respond to that. it helps us plan and organise extra teams. did you know that was coming? we had about three or four days morning. actually we had extra

resources in our control room and extra teams which respond to issues like flooding across the wastewater network. we will talk a bit about that planning. a lot of people might be thinking, if you knew that was coming, why do we have lots in the bottom of the road? good morning, la rs. bottom of the road? good morning, lars. you run a business that provides data to supermarkets, what is it that other businesses might want. how does what is there paid to what you are providing them? it's often related to temperature and sunshine duration. those the two most important factors. a forecast for the next couple of days, even into the next couple of weeks. that is being fed into their systems and what they do with that is basically

look at stock availability. they can potentially rearrange fresh produce, if it's going to be a hot weekend. that information which is potentially vital information, there is enough that everybody can have a proper barbecue at the weekend. we'll get your forecast a little bit later. lots of knock—on effects for businesses. we will look at how it will affect the water but more importantly, the planning that these businesses are putting in place. are they benefiting people around the country? a lot of people might not quite agree. lots of people in the office very early this morning. full office? it's quite early. between now and 2050, more trees

need to be planted in the uk, 1.5 billion. that's the stark warning from government advisers today. they say nowhere near enough is being done at the moment. our reporter is at the national forest in leicestershi re at the national forest in leicestershire this morning. sam, you can pick up on the story. how much more needs to be done? i am in the breakfast woodland which was planted a couple of years ago and as you can see, these trees are growing very well and as they grow, they are taking up loads of really important carbon dioxide. the government say we should be building 50,000 hectares of trees every year. last year, we planted 13,000. a lot of that was down to the national forest and john everett from the national forest is here. how do we get more trees planted. we have done that by having planning policies which

deliver trees and having it incentives which i generous the landowners to plant trees and having wonderful community schemes like this which is helping us plant in the breakfast woodlands. getting people to plant trees the money, the value of land is so valuable to the moment. one of the best, most cost—effective responses to climate change, trees give us not only carbon but also provide wildlife benefits. people benefits. they deal with pollution, they help to stop water. all these other wonderful benefits make it cost—effective to plant more trees. what is this tree? this one is about 2.5 years old, doing all thosejobs that this one is about 2.5 years old, doing all those jobs that trees do fa ntastically. doing all those jobs that trees do fantastically. we are really pleased with this. in a number of years, we will see them above our head in a

closed canopy will start to emerge. the kids at the school over the road here will start to enjoy them in more ways that they can. we are even screening the noise of the motorway all those benefits that trees can provide, we are seeing here. this tree is nearly as tall as me. it's just above your head. that's what you can do. in a few years, you can have a really rapid response. that's what we have to do. thank you for joining us. these little oak trees along here in these oak trees have got a little bit of a way to go before they reach the size of that rowan tree and this one has got a little bit of way to go before it reaches my height. an hour in the news, travel, and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a christian preacher will hand a petition into the home office

later — signed by nearly a0,000 people — asking for greater protection for street preachers. oluwole ilesanmi was paid two and a half thousand pounds by the met following his wrongful arrest while preaching outside southgate tube station in february. the petition is calling on the home secretary to investigate the guidance and training given to officers on the freedom to preach. a charity that supports carers as young as five years old in london says it has hundreds of children on its waiting list. honeypot works with children who care for their parents or siblings. it takes them on short holidays to give them a break and says demand for respite increasing. we get referrals every single day and atany we get referrals every single day and at any given point of the year we have a six—month waiting list so currently in london we have 700 children that are currently being supported by honeypot the probably another a00 500 children under the age of a2 are waiting for their first respite break.

some premier league football clubs in the capital are coming together to raise money for the london air ambulance later. the service which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year performed the world's first roadside open—heart surgery. chelsea, crystal palace, tottenham and west ham are all supporting their work. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on thejubilee line otherwise it's a good service. on the trains there are cancellations and delays on great northern services to and from moorgate due to the unavailability of train crew. there's a reduced service on thameslink services between st pancras and bedford due to damage to the overhead wires. on to the roads — traffic is building on old street on the approach to the roundabout. finally in fulham: there temporary traffic lights and water mains work on wandsworth bridge road near the junction with studdridge street. now the weather with rich davis. hello, good morning. a little bit of an unsettled picture through tuesday. it looks like we've got some wet

weather on the way as we go through the course of the day. likely to see a few showers around. they could be quite heavy at times and the wind will be picking up as we go through this morning and into this afternoon as well. so turning a little bit different as we go through the next few days or so but certainly today looks like it could be the wettest day of the week as we see this swirl of showers pushing into this morning and continuing into this afternoon. in with it as well but temperatures up at 19 or 20 celsius, maybe getting to 21 degrees so it is going to be feeling just a little cooler than it did yesterday, plus those winds are really picking up. you can see there, gusts up to 30, a0mph. as we make our way through this afternoon and into this evening, steadily those showers are beginning to push away. it looks like it will be staying dry and cloudy overnight which will see temperatures drop down to about 15 or 16 degrees celsius and it's looking a lot drier and brighter through tomorrow. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address.

now, though, it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: after his visit to scotland, boris johnson's charm offensive goes to south wales as farmers warn the prime minister of the risks of a no deal brexit. uncertainty over brexit hits holiday money as the pound falls to and it —— a it —— a two year low. and scouts descend upon west virginia for the world jamboree. a former high courtjudge says police may have broken the law in the way they investigated claims ofa in the way they investigated claims of a paedophile ring in westminster.

gareth bale pulls out of real madrid's preseason trip to munich after his move to china was blocked by the club. from the hottest day on record to half a months rainfall in just hours, all of that in a week. how does business cope with the ever changing weather? i am in the control room of one of our biggest water companies to find out. more rain in the forecast today and we see some thunder and downpours coming in from the south—west of england and wales, accompanied by dusty wind. i will have more in 15 minutes. —— gusty wind. it's tuesday, the 30th ofjuly. our top story. borisjohnson will make his first visit to wales as prime minister later, as he tries to rally support for his vision of farming in a post—brexit britain. it follows a warning from the farmers' union of wales that there'll be "civil unrest" in rural areas, if the uk leaves the european union without a deal. our assistant political editor

norman smith is in westminster good morning. interesting to see what sort of reception he gets. the nationalfarmers union what sort of reception he gets. the national farmers union has what sort of reception he gets. the nationalfarmers union has been vocal and clear about how it feels about the impact of brexit on the farming industry. had a difficult reception in scotland yesterday and it could be even bumpier today because he will meet members of the public today. yesterday he did not. today he will meet farmers, labourers, farmworkers and they will wa nt clear a nswe rs labourers, farmworkers and they will want clear answers about their future because although we have talked a lot about the impact of exit on automotive and financial sectors, perhaps the economy that will face the greatest upheaval is the farming sector because the common agricultural policy, the mainstay for many farms, that is going and although the government have said they will continue to subsidise farms up to 2022, the outlook dion than is uncertain.

there will be more competition, more opportunities but more competition and, crucially, if there is a no deal brexit then is the potential for a very sizeable tariff indeed on—farm export such as dairy products reaching 30% tariffs. lamb, a0%. so i think mrjohnson will face some real pressure today to come up with clear and coherent answers about the future of the farming industry. and you will watch closely, as will weed. —— as will we. as talk of a no—deal brexit has ramped up in recent days, the pound has sunk to its lowest level for two years. that could mean good news for tourists coming to the uk, but probably not if you're heading abroad on holiday and particularly to europe. one pound currently gets you around one euro 10. 2 we go back to the start of may, it was getting you one euro 17. so if you were taking 500 pounds on holiday, you'll now get about 35 euros less.

let's speak to travel reporter simon calder, he's at heathrow airport for us this morning. this will pinch, won't it? it will really make a difference. it certainly will. here is 100 euros i prepared earlier and i am very glad identity here at euro's busiest airport i have been across to see how much it will cost me to buy if i turn up with cash and they said £117 which means £1 is worth 85 eurocents. of course, if you are planning to travel to a euro area you need to plan in advance and you could find that click and collect online deals will be best for you. the dollar, you will be lucky to get $1 24 the dollar, you will be lucky to get $1 2a your the dollar, you will be lucky to get $12a your pound the dollar, you will be lucky to get $1 2a your pound today. the dollar, you will be lucky to get $12a your pound today. again, if you are going to the united states it is well worth booking in advance. for any exotic currency including

turkish lira or the colourful russian ruble, do not even think about buying them in the uk. you will get a terrible rate. once you get to your destination you will get a better deal. if you have not booked your holiday yet, go to poland! it is a beautiful day there today and it is where your pound will stretch the further rest in europe. a former high courtjudge says police may have broken the law, in the way they investigated claims of a paedophile ring at westminster. last week, carl beech, was jailed for 18 years for perverting the course ofjustice after lying about his claims. sir richard henriques, who carried out a review of the scotland yard inquiry, claims that warrants to search the homes of some of those beech had accused of abuse, may have been obtained unlawfully. carl beech alleged in police interviews that he had been abused by a group of high—profile men. i had poppies pinned to my chest

while they did whatever they want to do. scotland yard spent £2 million investigating these claims. when the investigation collapsed with no charges, the retired judge, sir richard henriques carried out an independent enquiry. it was completed in 2016 but never fully published. now sir richard has gone to the media with claims the police may themselves have broken the law. the retired armed forces chief lord brummel was one of those accused. former mp harvey proctor was another. but sir richard says the police may not have told the whole story when applying for warrants to search their homes. according to him, there were inconsistency in allegations that the judge wasn't told about. the police watchdog has also looked at the investigation and concluded

there was no evidence that officers deliberately misled the judge. two children aged six and 13, are among those confirmed dead after a shooting at a food festival in america on sunday. four people were killed, including the gunman who was shot by police. the authorities are still trying to establish a motive for the attack. dave lee reports. what's going on, what's going on?! as the shots rang out, there was at first confusion, and then panic, and eventually disbelief. they're shooting! for most of the weekend, this was the scene of a happy, popular food festival, with around 80,000 people in attendance. but by sunday evening, it had turned into the latest american mass shooting, the 2a6th in this country, in this year alone. pop, pop, pop, pop, and wejust went behind some tents and took cover. and we knew right away when we saw a lot of people just running away from there.

we thought it was a firecracker. and then, when i looked to the side, we knew it wasn't. we both turned at the same exact time and saw him standing right there. he was within, what, ten feet of us? yeah, he shot one shot. he was just going back and forth. and then he put the clip in, and he just started moving back and forth, walking towards our tent because that's where most of the people were in that area, and he just started shooting. police said they took less than a minute to shoot dead the man once he opened fire, but even with that rapid response, the gunman was able to cause carnage with what police described as an ak—a7—like rifle. there absolutely would have been more bloodshed, i believe. with the number of people, in the small area that they were in, i think it's very, very fortunate that they were able to engage him as quickly as they did. six—year—old stephen romero is the first victim identified. he had been visiting with his mother and grandmother, who were both wounded. also among the dead, a man in his 20s and a girl aged 13. police confirmed the killer to be santino legan, a 19—year—old man who was able

to evade security by cutting through the festival's perimeterfence. he was also able to avoid california's gun laws, the most strict in the country, by simply travelling to the neighbouring state of nevada to buy the weapon legally. dave lee, bbc news, in gilroy, california. the woman who runs one of the country's leading nhs child sleep services says we're in the middle of a "hidden public health crisis when it comes to sleep". professor heather elphick says the full scale of children with sleeping problems is worse than previously thought, and she's launched a pioneering scheme in sheffield which has helped 800 children get more sleep. louis lee ray reports. jackie and her twin daughters live near leeds. jessica and jasmine are four and they have always struggled to sleep.

it wasn't helped by a difficult start in life. they had suffered chronic recurring illness and repeated hospital admissions, so the first few years were tough. the girls' sleep got so bad it was having a devastating effect on the whole family. i was planning to return to work after 12 months but there was no way i could. according to the nhs, these girls are just two of the thousands getting help for sleep conditions. they were referred to the sleep clinic where nurses come up with a bedtime routine specific for each patient. the girls were diagnosed with restless legs. that often wakes them as they sleep so they were prescribed a gentle sedative. jackie also stuck to the routine she worked out with the clinic. this clinic in sheffield is one of a small number of services around the uk and it is stretched. they see 800 new children a year and the situation is getting worse. it's postcode lottery when it comes to sleep services across the country. this is a hidden public health

crisis when it comes to sleep. but things are looking up for the girls. after almost a year, jessica and jasmine have been given the all clear from the service. i don't even really like talking about the days prior to sleep. but on a good night we can walk out and then 12 hours later they will wake up. you can see more on this story on the victoria derbyshire programme at ten o'clock this morning on bbc two. now, you might remember a few weeks ago, american rapper lil‘ nas x joined us on the sofa to talk about his hit single ‘old town road'. # i'm gonna take my horse to the old town road # i'm gonna ride till i can't no more # i'm gonna take my horse to the old town road # i'm gonna ride till i can't no more well, the song has

now broken the record for spending the longest time at the top of the us singles chart. the track, featuring country music legend billy ray cyrus, has topped the billboard hot 100 for 17 weeks — beating the previous record, held jointly by the 1995 mariah carey and boyz ii men song, one sweet day, and the 2017 version of despacito byjustin bieber. and despite spending such a long time on the chance, he was eager to get off our couch. nas is off, see you later now. you walked right across our camera shot but you know how to steal the show. that's why. you've got to come back. here he comes. you just sit there and relax. the way this works, you have to sit there so you don't go in front of the cameras. 0k. next time that won't happen.

it was just one of those moments. he was just one of the most mellow interviewees so it was a curious and but 17 weeks in the charts — that is pretty good. 13 minutes past seven now. attempts to close the gap between disadvantaged pupils and other children when it comes to gcse results in secondary schools in england, are almost at a "standstill", according to a new report. it found poorer pupils are, on average, 18 months behind by the time they get to the age of 16, with larger gaps in the north. we're joined in the studio by tarun kapur, the ceo of the dean trust which runs several high schools in the north—west of england, and from our london newsroom byjo hutchinson, who is the author of this report for the education policy institute. let me begin with you, joe. can you explain what is gap is and how it is measured? what does it effectively mean? we measure the gap by looking

at the attainment for disadvantaged children, those eligible for free school meals in the last six years and other children. we look at their attainment and we convert the difference in their attainment into months of development or months of schooling. so that is how we reach the 18 month figure. sorry, excuse me for not understanding. what does 18 months mean? what are we comparing? that means that on a typical measure of how much children will learn in one month for one year, what we're is that by the end of the gcse at 16, disadvantaged children have 18 months less learning than non— disadvantaged children. so, pick up on this. you runa number of children. so, pick up on this. you run a number of schools and are a head teacher. do you see that? we see a gap. what i would say is that if you class a child is disadvantaged they may feel disadvantaged they may feel disadvantaged so we try to say that

the children who come to our schools are not disadvantaged. if you take a typical class where you have some children from poor backgrounds and some from wealthy backgrounds and you have a great teacher what will happen is that the gap will widen because they're not getting the same deal —— they are getting the same deal, except not at home. many of children have a social and cultural capital which is in excess because they go on holidays and visit museum and add value to the work we do in the classroom. there is good research to say that children who are in families where the parents have not been to university nor have experience of further education, and also they are on average wages, loving families, fantastic families but the aspiration is different because theyjust want to make ends meet. they don't have many books,... the way you describe that, and you are being honest about how that appears in schools in your practical

experience. it sounds like there is not much a school can do. our more there is a limit to what you can do in the school which can possibly affect the home situation. there is a limit but what we can do is expose children, and it starts at primary, take children on the train into the city. things they wouldn't be able to do often with the families so you build—up that cultural capital within them. they write in a different way, encouraging them to read. it will close not close the gap, but we've taken scores on, there is no disadvantage. what happened there is, the parents say to me, i'm getting a tutor. i'm going to make sure they get something additional. that gap will naturally widen because those who can, will. joe,

you also looked at location and ethnicity as well and how this has acted the gap. can you talk to us about that? we do see quite large variations in the size of the gap from place to place. research suggests many of those differences ultimately ball down to the mix of pupils and economic environment. many of those differences not driven by what one school is doing. however, what i would say is that in re ce nt however, what i would say is that in recent years, without cause for optimism generally speaking, the net —— than gap has narrowed. we now have the gap widening in the overall trend suggests there is a large risk. listening to that, that you can have a brilliant teacher and the gap could almost widen because those

who have more advantage at home i'm going to benefit more from this. what can be done? if it's not the schools that answered, what can be done to address this disparity?” would completely recognise all of those points about disadvantages in the home and wider society and i think we need to be thinking about not only schools, we are seeing new pressures within schools in recent years. financial pressures. that suggests to me that we would be benefiting. in earlier services. some people might be thinking, every child is an individual. there must be children who can and do. we have

people go to university. if you are from a poor background, you will be behind. firstly, funding is an issue. if we could have more funding, we could support the outside activities. at the moment, they have to pay. secondly, tinkering with the examination. those children who need stability, but stability is gone and they go back again. we need to stop tinkering with the system and make a difference. education is political. we have a new education secretary.

we have a new education secretary. we will see how that unfolds. let's talk to carol and find out what's happening with the weather. good morning, everyone. met office have verified we have a new uk temperature record. the only second day since records began that the temperature is reached 38 degrees plus and this was at cambridge university botanic gardens. today in cambridge, the temperature will be for penal 16 degrees lower than that. the next few days, forecasters u nsettled. that. the next few days, forecasters unsettled. heavy, thundery downpours with hail, gusty winds, at the moment particularly gusty winds across the south coast of england, particularly from the isles of scilly all the way to the isle of wight in the channel islands and as we go through the day, this area of low pressure bringing in this implement weather will move northwards and eastwards right the

way through until thursday. first thing this morning, we have the gusty winds across the english channel and also the circulation of showers moving around the area of low russia, getting into northern england, northern ireland, parts of scott the driest conditions will be across the north—east in the east. we will hang onto quite a bit of bog. hail will be with us through the afternoon. the met office has a weather warning out for this, indicating the risk of localised flooding. the black circles use or indicate also the kind of wind gust speeds you can expect. temperatures down to touch on yesterday. at best, 23 degrees in aberdeen and also norwich. through this evening and overnight, the low pressure area continues to push northwards and eastwards. still bringing some heavy, thundery showers, still gusty winds around as well across the north of scotland, some fog. poor visibility. temperature—wise, about

12 and 16. wednesday and thursday, this slow—moving area of low pressure. it will be blustery around it and pressure. it will be blustery around itand a pressure. it will be blustery around it and a fairfew pressure. it will be blustery around it and a fair few showers. some of them, still heavy in thundery with some hail. driver tomorrow across southern england and south wales. for northern ireland and scotland, you will see showers as temperatures rise. 17 in the north to about 23 in the south. that pesky area of low pressure, depending on your point of view, will still be with us as it pushes into the north sea. the weather front close enough to the east coast just to produce weather front close enough to the east coastjust to produce again. as temperatures rise through the day, we will see more showers develop across scotland and northern england but still, mostly dry across southern england wales and northern ireland and those are our temperatures, 17 in the north, 2a in the south. it's not too bad. if you

like it a bit warmer, yes. i like the warm rain as well. what can i say? enjoy it. just say anything. what are you going to say? let me wait for it. naga, you're nothing but trouble but the kind of trouble i like. right back at you. if you imagine your average scout camp, you probably think of a coach trip away, pitching a tent in a rainy field and sizzling sausages on a fire. but thousands of boys and girls from the uk are currently taking part in something a little bit more extravagent, in the mountains of west virginia. it's the 2ath world jamboree, and our very own boy scout mike was there. from across the world they came, nearly 50,000 scouts from most of the countries on earth to make new friends,

party and challenge themselves in dozens of sports. to west virginia usa, and a venue on a scale never seen before. look at the scale of this. just as these scouts have come from across the world, so the whole movement has come so far since the first world scout jamboree when there were just 7000 or 8000 scouts. now there are far more than five times that number and here they are gathering for the opening ceremony. among them, this 1a—year—old from kenya. he is here thanks to a foundation. you meet different countries and it is cool to be friends and i come to know all the different countries. no matter where we are we're still brothers and sisters. every scout has digital wristband that helps them connect with each other and also reach the network of 50 million scouts no matter where we are we're still brothers and sisters.

every scout has digital wristband that helps them connect with each other and also reach the network of 50 million scouts around the world. bear grylls, a former scout himself, is here and he leads by example. above all, scouting gave me friendships and a sense of pride. we see such a divided world in so many ways, you know. this, for me, is a reminder that actually what bonds us together is much more than what separates us to stick it stands for so much. almost 50% of the scouts here are now female. meeting different people has changed my life. we met loads of different people from countries and learned about their cultures and it is help me open my eyes to what my life is like and how it is different to other people's. you become neighbours with the world. the italians are setting up their tents here, next to the chileans.

all the countries are mixed up together so you don't know who your neighbours will be. this is competitive as well. you get more points the more activities you do. awards for if they are climbing spots, watersports or aerial sports. and this is the uk against colombia. and what better way to bond with new friends than with the teamwork needed in sport, and on a record breaking scale. the largest zipline network, the second—biggest skate park in the us. everything is now here to stay on this permanent site. 1a million young people living in refugee camps and most of them do not have the opportunity for this. and because we think we are the biggest movement, youth movement for education so we are trying to bring education to those kids.

it means the here in this city they are as one, equally scouts. learning about each other and their own cultures, different nations through direct interaction whether it be through sport or sitting around and having a chat. you get a real sense of the scale of the event there. it's held on different continents and the nice thing about that, lots of people get an opportunity to learn about each other but the wealth of the countries, like the uk, there is extra money so the scouts from poorer countries get to go as well. it's a real collaborative thing. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. a christian preacher will hand a petition into the home office later — signed by nearly a0,000 people — asking for greater protection

for street preachers. oluwole ilesanmi was paid £2,500 by the met following his wrongful arrest while preaching outside a tube station in february. the petition is calling on the home secretary to investigate the guidance and training given to officers on the freedom to preach in public a charity that supports carers as young as five years old in london says it has hundreds of children on its waiting list. honeypot works with children who care for their parents or siblings. it takes them on short holidays to give them a break — and says there's greater demand than it can provide for. we get referrals every single day, and at any given point of the year we have a 6 —month waiting list so currently in london we have 700 children that are currently being supported by honeypot and probably another a00, 500 children under the age of eight who are waiting for their first respite break.

some premier league football clubs in the capital are coming together to raise money for the london air ambulance later. the service is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. chelsea, crystal palace, tottenham and west ham are all supporting their work. let's take a look at the travel situation now. severe delays on thejubilee line. on the trains there are cancellations and delays on great northern services to and from moorgate due to staffing issues. a reduced service on thameslink services between st pancras and bedford because of damage to the overhead wires. the roads — traffic building on old street on the approach to the roundabout. finally in fulham: temporary traffic lights and water mains work on wandsworth bridge road near the junction with studdridge street. now the weather with rich davis. hello, good morning. a little bit of an unsettled picture through tuesday. it looks like we've got some wet weather on the way as we go

through the course of the day. likely to see a few showers around. they could be quite heavy at times and the wind will be picking up as we go through this morning and into this afternoon as well. so turning a little bit different as we go through the next few days or so but certainly today looks like it could be the wettest day of the week as we see this swirl of showers pushing into this morning and continuing into this afternoon. they could be quite heavy at times, we could hear some thunder mix in with it as well but temperatures up at 19 or 20 celsius, maybe hitting 21 degrees so it is going to be feeling just a little bit cooler than it did yesterday, plus those winds are really picking up. you can see there, gusts up to 30, a0mph. as we make our way through the rest of the afternoon and into this evening, steadily those showers are beginning to push away. it looks like it will be staying dry and cloudy overnight which will see which means we'll see temperatures drop down to about 15 or 16 degrees celsius and it's looking a lot drier and brighter through tomorrow. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour.

plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. borisjohnson will make his first visit to wales as prime minister later, as he tries to rally support for his vision of farming in a post—brexit britain. it follows a warning from the farmers' union of wales that there'll be "civil unrest" in rural areas, if the uk leaves the european union without a deal. let's speak now to our political reporter in cardiff, teleri glyn jones. good morning to you. can you give us a sense of what borisjohnson may expect when he arrives for the first time as prime minister in wales? good morning. he will start his

visit this afternoon at a farm here in south wales. he will try to reassure farmers, telling —— telling them about his vision for and letting them know they can thrive in the future. but it comes at a time when there is worry in the industry. last week we heard warnings about civil unrest. it is an industry that is particularly dependent on x belts to the eu saw no deal brexit with huge tariffs on lamb and beef in particular could have massive impact on that industry. so he could have a frosty reception. he will then head to the area that is holding a by—election and then return here to meet the world ‘s first minister. he will tell them tell him that there is no mandate for a no deal brexit and could catastrophic for wales. thank you. the pound has sunk to its lowest level for two years as markets become increasingly worried over the possibility of no deal. one pound currently gets you around 1.10 euro.

that could mean good news for tourists coming to the uk, but not if you're heading abroad on holiday. sterling is also down against the us dollar to around $1.22. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has called on borisjohnson to ban fracking immediately, accusing the prime minister of "bending the knee" to fracking firms. labour says the uk will eliminate any hope of the government meeting its target of ‘net—zero' carbon emissions by 2050, if it fully exploits its shale gas reserves. the government says natural gas has a role to play in reducing emissions and the industry would create jobs. a former high courtjudge says police may have broken the law, in the way they investigated claims of a paedophile ring at westminster. last week, carl beech, was jailed for 18 years for perverting the course ofjustice by lying about his claims. sir richard henriques, who carried out a review of the scotland yard inquiry, claims that warrants to search the homes of some of those beech had accused of abuse may have been obtained unlawfully. attempts to close the achievement gap between disadvantaged pupils and other children in england's secondary schools is almost

at a "standstill", according to a new report. the education policy institute found poorer pupils are, on average, 18 months behind the rest of the class by the age of 16. the government says nearly two and a half billion pounds has been spent to support disadvantaged pupils this year. in secondary schools they are more likely to be in deficit than primary schools with around 30% of secondaries in deficit. that is the age range where we see the real problem with the gap stopping and potentially starting to widen in the future. american rapper asap rocky is due to go on trial along with two other men in stockholm today, accused of assaulting a 19—year—old in the swedish capital last month. president trump has called for his relief —— release and spoken to the swedish prime minister about the case. we can speak now to maddy savage,

who is in stockholm this morning. this case has garnered attention. so much international and —— attention. the crowd —— the trial is about to start a support. he has been held in a detention centre around the corner from here for a month and that is been at the heart of a controversy. there is no such thing as bail here in sweden which is why he has not been let out until now. but the court has been given 552 pages of evidence to look through including text messages between rocky and his friends. photos of the injuries and transcripts of oysters —— witness testimony. we spoke to the lawyer of one of the suspects, and he has told us one of the suspects, and he has told us there will be new evidence a new witness testimonies which he hopes will sway the case. they could face at least two years in prison. hundreds of volunteers have helped

rescue five whales that were stranded on a florida beach. this aerial footages shows the whales in shallow water under tents put up to shade them from the sun and prevent sunburn. three of the whales were loaded into boats to be released back into the gulf of mexico, and two were taken by truck to receive treatment. those are the main stories this morning. holly has the sport for us right now. so, good morning. now if you are a footballer you want to be paid a lot of money and play. so what happens if you only get one? gareth bale get £650,000 and we but with real madrid he does not get to play a lot of football. saga has been going on for quite some time. there is no love lost between the two. last week, real boss zinedine zidane said the welshman was "very close to leaving" having fallen

out of favour. gareth got a huge offer from a chinese club, incredible money we are talking about, and real madrid have pulled the plug. that means that gareth bale has pulled out of a trip to munich for a preseason tournament. he only has three years left on his contract with the club where he has won four champions league titles. staying with transfer news and manchester united's preseason plans aren't settled yet. romelu lukaku has been left out of the squad, that travelled to norway yesterday morning. the belgian striker‘s been heavily linked with a move to inter milan throughout the summer. the united squad that has travelled will face kristian—sund tonight. bury‘s opening league one game, at home to milton keynes dons on saturday, has been suspended — but bolton wanderers' match at wycombe can go ahead.

both teams have been in financial difficulty and have been deducted 12 points from the new league one table. on to cricket now — and with england fans onlyjust getting over their world cup victory. they look now to complete the perfect summer of cricket. the ashes begins on thursday against australia at edgbaston. the aussies hold the urn after victory down under in 2018, and ashley giles, managing director of english cricket, says the team will have to "raise their game" to claim it back. australia opener david warner limped out of training yesterday after suffering a bruised thigh. he was pictured receiving attention from medical staff and and had an ice pack on. he is due to make his test comeback after being banned for 12 months for ball tampering. andy and jamie murray will play in the doubles at the washington open today. the brothers will face edouard roger—vasselin and nicolas mahut in their opening round match.

the pair played together to help great britain win the davis cup in 2015. the tournament will be andy murray's fourth since having hip surgery injanuary. he won the queens doubles title with feliciano lopez injune. and finally 11—year—old brazilian rayssa leal wowed the crowd by winning the women's final at the street skateboarding league event in los angeles. she becomes the youngest skater to wi a leg of the competition. some incredible tricks from the youngster in what was just her third event. she was spotted by tony hawk in a skate park as a 7—year—old. a huge future ahead for her and just look how happy she was. and sky brian, remember, will represent great britain. she is ten.

she will be 11 when she competes. what did you do when you were ten yea rs what did you do when you were ten years old? what did you do when you were ten years old ? i what did you do when you were ten years old? i love watching her in action. the man credited with helping shape new labour policy and media coverage under tony blair says he no longer wants to be a member of the party. alistair campbell was expelled from labour in may after he admitted voting for the liberal democrats in the european elections. he's now written to jeremy corbyn saying he no longer intends to fight to be readmitted because the party no longer represents his values. let's speak to him now. good morning to you. it is probably worth reminding those who have not followed every step of this process, you voted and said, openly, that you voted for the liberal democrats in the european elections. what happened next? what happened was that i was notified by the labour

party that i had excluded myself which meant that in publicly admitting voting for another party they said that was in breach of party rules. since then i have tried to find out the process under which the decision was made and also the review that was announced into it by chakra party and the labour party president the next day. weeks into that, getting nowhere and i hired a legal team who prepared a case that both they and the labour party was agreed would win on the basis of discrimination and rule misapplication because i was the only one expelled. and if you still have the will to live on this, then getting nowhere i told the party i was planning to issue proceedings and then they approached me and gave mea and then they approached me and gave me a couple of ways out that they felt would get me back into the

party without embarrassing them too much. and while i was thinking about that i reached the conclusion that i'm afraid i have hit the end of the road with the labour party. what are you seeing that means you can no longer be a member of the labour party? what is it that you see?” have been a supporter of labour since the days of harold wilson and i cannot quite believe i have given up. but basically, one year ago my pa rt left up. but basically, one year ago my part left the party citing three reasons to one was the failure to lead on breakfast —— brexit, one was the failure to tackle anti—semitism and the third was the lack of a genuinely modern forward—looking policy agenda. and it is fair to say that i had been hoping that there would be improvement across all fronts. on brexit they have got into a better position but still, to my mind it is not good enough and jeremy corbyn needs to be dragged against reaming every step of the way. and on the other two they have gone backwards. and i havejust come

back from australia and it was there that my thinking crystallised. they had an election in the labour party who had great ratings, bill shorten rated far better thanjeremy corbyn but i knew from the times i had been to australia before that the public had decided well in advance they would not make will shorten prime minister and i would not make will shorten prime ministerand i am would not make will shorten prime minister and i am afraid they have done the same withjeremy corbyn and that means a moment of national peril with this new very right—wing populist hard exit government. u nless populist hard exit government. unless i think there is some major change then i really feel for what will happen to the country under borisjohnson. will happen to the country under boris johnson. jeremy corbyn has, as you very well know, a strong and very dedicated following within labour party membership. so there comes a point where you have to ask is that have to do with you? people are entitled to say what they like andi are entitled to say what they like and i think one of the problems of our politics, inside the labour party and outside, i have seen it overnight, i said

party and outside, i have seen it overnight, isaid in party and outside, i have seen it overnight, i said in the piece, the four piece is on the new european website but i say there that one of the problems is that they have these outriders and sock puppets who will go out and abuse anyone who does not agree with whatjeremy corbyn says and does. and all my life, be it as and does. and all my life, be it as a journalist or working in the labour party in the labour government, i have always believed in speaking truth to power. i did it when it was tony blair, gordon brown, and i think i speak truth to power with borisjohnson. brown, and i think i speak truth to power with boris johnson. he brown, and i think i speak truth to power with borisjohnson. he has no mandate for no deal and i speak truth to power tojeremy corbyn. he must ask himself, is he capable of doing thejob must ask himself, is he capable of doing the job and must ask himself, is he capable of doing thejob and rising to must ask himself, is he capable of doing the job and rising to the challenge that now presents itself? look is what has happened lately. where is the strategy? it is not as if we did not know borisjohnson would be prime minister. where is the strategy?! i is the point of deciding in myself and as a personal decision that this is not about some

hot or some other party, nothing like that. this is a personal decision. i no longerfeel that this is the labour party i have been dedicated to my whole life, not the party of tony blair or gordon brown, not the party of harold wilson and all the leaders we have had down the yea rs. all the leaders we have had down the years. so if you had a vision for the future of the labour party and i accept that you are stepping aside from that, but is there someone other thanjeremy from that, but is there someone other than jeremy corbyn? from that, but is there someone other thanjeremy corbyn? would you namea other thanjeremy corbyn? would you name a name, the person you think could leave the party to what you think would be a success?” could leave the party to what you think would be a success? i the letter thatjeremy corbyn has done some things very well. he campaigned well in the last election. he did much better than people expected. however, there must be more than that. who are these people? is there a list of names you can put out there that would be the ones who would make you feel differently?

there are and i will not name names. why not? i don't think it is very helpful. you could say what you are doing is not helpful. that is interesting given you have said what you have said about the party. interesting given you have said what you have said about the partym interesting given you have said what you have said about the party. it is not about being helpful, it is about telling the truth about what i feel about what is happening in politics ata about what is happening in politics at a moment of real danger for the country. and i think all those who have a platform and can, programmes like yours, and i thought about this for weeks and months. i thought about it really deeply, i spoke to a few close friends, some of them think i am doing the wrong thing, some them think i'm doing the right thing to do it is a personal decision. and i don't think it is up to me to suddenly say that exposing could do better than jeremy to me to suddenly say that exposing could do better thanjeremy corbyn. i must be honest. i think there are several people who would pursue a different politics who would give genuine leadership to the country at a time when the country is crying out for it. and ijust think he has reached a point where he is not

capable of it and we need to be honest about that. the labour party, the labour party is nothing if not a party of government. and if i think back to where we were in opposition in the mid— 90s and people have to remember, it is not easy. it is really, really ha rd remember, it is not easy. it is really, really hard work. i do not see that work being done. i do not see that work being done. i do not see the policy agenda. i do not see the leadership on brexit. so ijust think that instead of pretending... listen, it is much harderfor mps and candidates than for me. i am outside anyway, i am not in parliament, i am outside anyway, i am not in parliament, iam not outside anyway, i am not in parliament, i am not a candidate for those people. they know, they know that the vast bulk of mps, they agree with my analysis. they may not agree with my analysis. they may not agree with my canal is that makes conclusion but they agree with the analysis. and if we carry on sleepwalking, we are going to help the most ill qualified right wing all the intention prime minister this country has ever had, to

inflict a massive act of self harm. ano inflict a massive act of self harm. a no deal brexit for which he knows, knows if there was a referendum tomorrow, no deal against no brexit, no brexit wins by a mild. he did not do that so what he relies on his jeremy corbyn... do that so what he relies on his jeremy corbyn. .. alistair we will have to leave it there. thank you for your views. a number of assertions there made at the end over who would win, if their referendum is on different issues. we are not in a position to judge that. talking to farmers particularly. is on trip around the uk, first in scotland and today in wales. more on that a little later in the programme. it's time to talk to carol. we are a little bit late. you know people set their clocks by you, don't they? let's crack on with

it. for the next few days, we're looking at some heavy downpours and gusty winds. some real thunder and lightning. some hail mixed in. very gusty winds at the moment across the english channel and the channel islands and that will be the cause of this area of low pressure which is moving northwards and eastwards over the next few days. clearing the far east by the time we get to thursday. first thing this morning, gusty winds across the english channel. we got it already pushing across the south—west. where you see these blank circles. their way well beissues these blank circles. their way well be issues from trees in bloom. the

brightest guys will be across the north—east. across the far north of scotland, this is where we will hang onto a lot of low cloud and mist. as we head onto the evening and overnight, again, we got an area of low pressure bringing in all those heavy showers, still thundery, still blustery around them. once again, mist and fog forming across the north of scott and in areas where it hasn't remained through the course of the day. temperatures falling between about 12 and 16 degrees. slowly pushing towards the north sea. not as tightly packed isobars but it still will be lost through. we've got the rotation of those showers again. some heavy in thundery. not just across showers again. some heavy in thundery. notjust across northern england but north wales and through northern ireland and parts of scotland. as temperatures rise through the day, we could see further showers develop and between them, some bright skies. a drier day

across southern england, the midlands and wales compared to today. as we head into thursday, just very slowly, but low pressure pushes into the north sea. with the attendant weather front close to the north sea coastline, it means we are into some showers, and a fair bit of cloud but as temperatures rise through the course of the day, we will see some homegrown showers develop and they could potentially be heavy and thundery. dry conditions, northern ireland, wales and southern england. temperatures going up. into the latter part of the week, a mixture of white spells and sunshine but as the winds for lighter, it will feel a bit warmer. interesting seeing those temperatures rise a little bit later in the week. we been talking about the hottest days on record and then we had those downpours. that influx of water. talking about how businesses can keep up with that ever—changing weather. sean is at united utilities, one of the uk's

used water companies. having a bit ofa used water companies. having a bit of a look around. good morning. we are at the control centre where united utilities headquarters, they are plotting what happens to be a 3.2 million households, how they get the water there and all the flooding issues as well. i've come outside to put on my best carol kirkwood, find your best location. this is a big issue for a lot of businesses. looking at the weather. heineken saying lousy weather means their sales have been hit. how do businesses take forecasts into account? we got simon chadwick with us account? we got simon chadwick with us this morning. simon, you are in charge of central operations. there area charge of central operations. there are a million apps you can get. what is it that you guys do that is a bit more than what most of us are looking it? three months and six

months out, what the longer term weather patterns are going to be like. that ensures we have enough water in the long—term to supply all of our customers. is that when you hear things like hosepipe ban? telling people to stop using the water as much. that gives a long—term view, which replenishes our open reservoirs and provides the north—west with great quality drinking water. from united utilities, it was a relevant this warning of hosepipe and may well be on the way but this year, can you give us a bit of a hint? what is your insight? last year, we had a long—term forecast. this year, it's much more mixed so we have no plans at all to introduce any hosepipe ban. that is good news for a lot of people. in terms of the last week, a lot of variety of weather for you to deal with. you said you had a good

feel, the heatwave and then the amount of rain. to people who end up with their cars underwater and made it but —— major bypasses, how does that end up in that situation. we had real extremes this week. what we can do is understand what that means for the north—west. lots of surface water and rain. that can also impact our network. with that forward forecast, what we are able to do, actually this weekend, we doubled our resources. simon, thank you. heineken actually said lousy weather, poor sales. heineken actually said lousy weather, poorsales. even the heineken actually said lousy weather, poor sales. even the hot weather, poor sales. even the hot weather was too hot for them to sell beer yesterday. sean, thank you it

looks very tranquil. the kind of place you want to be sitting down, having a nice cup of tea. 1.5 billion trees must be planted in the uk by 2050 in order to combat climate change — that's the stark warning from government advisors today. last year, only 13,000 hectares of woodland were planted, less than half the official target. sam fenwick is at the national forest in groby, leicestershire this morning to tell us more. tell us about the scale of the problem we are facing. this is the bbc breakfast woodland. i was just over there, around the corner, and the trees were a couple of years old, about the size of my knees. these ones are more like unruly teenagers. as these trees grow, they absorb more carbon dioxide and

that's important. the problem is, we're not planting enough. with the government has done, they have told landowners that they will give them money for trees that they planned. the problem though is that rural areas are getting the lion's share. what's happening now is they are trying to encourage urban planning. rebecca spate is with us from the woodland trust. how do we get more planting in urban areas? planting is of important thing across the piece. particularly urban areas because they help us with some consequences of climate change as well as storing carbon. they help us with inks like sudden rainfall, sudden burst of rainfall. our are big trees intersect that rain. they also really important. i live in the middle of a city. it's fantastic to

have that cooling when you got a really hot day. this tree here was actually planted by charlie when he came here. isn't it a beautiful looking specimen? an hour's time together travel, news and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. a christian preacher will hand a petition into the home office later — signed by nearly a0,000 people — asking for greater protection for street preachers. oluwole ilesanmi was paid £2,500 by the met following his wrongful arrest while preaching outside a tube station in february. the petition is calling on the home secretary to investigate the guidance and training given to officers on the freedom to preach in public. a charity that supports carers as young as five years old in london says it has hundreds of children on its waiting list. honeypot works with children who care for their parents or siblings. it takes them on short holidays

to give them a break and says there's greater demand than it can provide for. we get referrals every single day, and at any given point of the year we have a 6—month waiting list so currently in london we have 700 children that are currently being supported by honeypot but probably another a00, 500 children under the age of eight who are waiting for their first respite break some premier league football clubs in the capital are coming together to raise money for the london air ambulance later. the service is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. chelsea, crystal palace, tottenham and west ham are all supporting their work. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are severe delays on the jubilee line. otherwise it's good service. on the trains there are cancellations and delays on great northern services

to and from moorgate due to staffing issues. there's a reduced service on thameslink services between st pancras and bedford that's because of damage to the overhead wires. turning to the roads — it's the usual queues into town on the a13 through the goresbrook interchange. finally in fulham: there temporary traffic lights and water mains work on wandsworth bridge road near the junction with studdridge street. now the weather with rich davis. hello, good morning. a little bit of an unsettled picture through tuesday. it looks like we've got some wet weather on the way as we go through the course of the day. likely to see a few showers around. they could be quite heavy at times and the wind will be picking up as we go through this morning and into this afternoon as well. so turning a little bit different as we go through the next few days or so but certainly today looks like it could be the wettest day of the week as we see this swirl of showers pushing into this morning and continuing into this afternoon. they could be quite heavy at times, we could hear some thunder mix in with it as well but temperatures up at 19 or 20 celsius,

maybe hitting 21 degrees so it is going to be feeling just a little bit cooler than it did yesterday, plus those winds are really picking up. you can see there, gusts up to 30, a0mph. as we make our way through the rest of the afternoon and into this evening, steadily those showers are beginning to push away. it looks like it will be staying dry and quite cloudy overnight which means we'll see temperatures drop down to about 15 or 16 degrees celsius and it's looking a lot drier and brighter through tomorrow. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: after his visit to scotland, boris johnson's charm—offensive goes to south wales, as farmers warn the prime minister of the risks of a no—deal brexit.

uncertainty over brexit hits holiday money — the pound falls to a two—year low. more than a5,000 scouts descend on west virginia for the world jamboree. we'll hear from the chief scout, bear grylls. gareth bale pulls out of real madrid's pre—season trip to munich, after his big—money move to china was blocked by the club. from the hottest day on record to flooding in the north west, all in less than a week. how can business keep up with the ever—changing weather? iamon i am on the roof terrace of one of our biggest water company to see what businesses are up to. good morning, the weather is changeable this week. for the next few days, heavy thundery downpours and gusty winds, but some sunshine in between and i will tell you where in15 in between and i will tell you where in 15 minutes. good morning. it's tuesday, the 30th ofjuly.

our top story. borisjohnson will make his first visit to wales as prime minister later, as he tries to rally support for his vision of farming in a post—brexit britain. it follows a warning from the farmers' union of wales that there'll be "civil unrest" in rural areas, if the uk leaves the european union without a deal. our assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster. good morning. this is an important visit, the first time borisjohnson has visited wales as prime minister, but he goes with some pretty harsh questions being asked about what if? i think he probably does face a fairly bumpy ride because he is going to be meeting farmers, farm labourers and workers who want some sort of clarity about what the future looks like for them after brexit because although there has been a lot of focus on the implications for the automotive sector or the financial sector, actually, the farming industry perhaps faces the biggest shake—up. obviously, the common agricultural policy will come to an end, then

there is a question about funding forfarmers. so far, the government have said they will ensure equivalent funding up to the next election, but that is only until 2022 and thereafter, the outlook is uncertain. they will face much more competition. yes, there will be more opportunities, but there will also be more competition. crucially, if we leave with no—deal, the likelihood is they will face very, very steep tariffs and suggestions derry products could face tariffs of around 30% and lamb products 32% so i expect mrjohnson will face tough questions and they will want to give clarity about the future for the farming industry. for the moment, thank you. as talk of a no—deal brexit has ramped up in recent days, the pound has sunk to its lowest level for two years. that could mean good news for tourists coming to the uk, but probably not if you're heading abroad on holiday and particularly to europe.

let's tell you what you can get for £1. one pound currently gets you around 1 euro 10. if we go back to the start of may, it was getting you 1 euro 17. so, if you were taking £500 on holiday, you'll now get about 35 euros less. let's speak to travel reporter simon calder. he's at heathrow airport for us this morning. lots of people, it is the holiday season now and we don't care about the tourist benefit in coming here, it is about how much we get when we go abroad. -- the tourists benefiting. absolutely, yes. a plane has come down from chicago and the people there will be getting a bonus because stirling will be at its wea kest for over two because stirling will be at its weakest for over two years. but if you are going in the other direction, heading west, i havejust been to gatwick airport last night and the dollar is parity against the pound so you pay £1 for each dollar. at heathrow this morning, i said,

how much will it cost me to buy 100 euros? the answer was £117, which makes £1 worth 85 euros cents. you should never buy currencyjust by turning up at the airport and getting a click and collect steel is the best way to go about it. and if you get any exotic currency including the croatian kuna of the turkish lira of the colourful russian ruble, don't get it in the uk, wait untilyou russian ruble, don't get it in the uk, wait until you get your destination. if you are using plastic, try to get a free card. and if they are the dynamic currency conversion is, if they say, do you wa nt to conversion is, if they say, do you want to pay in sterling anywhere south of the channel ireland, say, no, i will pay in local currency, thank you. that is good advice, simon, thank you very much. a former high courtjudge says police may have broken the law,

in the way they investigated claims of a paedophile ring at westminster. last week, carl beech, was jailed for 18 years for perverting the course ofjustice after lying about his claims. sir richard henriques, who carried out a review of the scotland yard inquiry, claims that warrants to search the home of some of those beech had accused of abuse, may have been obtained unlawfully. andy moore reports. carl beech alleged in police interviews that he had been abused by a group of high—profile men. i had poppies pinned to my chest while they did whatever they wanted to do. scotland yard spent £2 million investigating these claims. when the investigation collapsed without any charges, the retired judge, sir richard henriques,

carried out an independent enquiry. it was completed in 2016, but never fully published. now sir richard has gone to the media with claims the police may themselves have broken the law. the retired armed forces chief lord bramall was one of those accused. the former mp harvey proctor was another. but sir richard says the police may not have told the whole story when applying for warrants to search their homes. according to him, there were inconsistencies in beech's allegations that the judge wasn't told about. the police watchdog has also looked at the investigation and concluded there was no evidence that officers deliberately misled the judge. progress to close the achievement gap between disadvantaged pupils and other children in england's secondary schools is almost at a "standstill", according to a new report. the education policy institute found poorer pupils are, on average, 18 months behind the rest of the class by the age of 16. our education correspondent, frankie mccamley, reports.

tackling the gap in achievements between poorer pupils who are eligible for free school meals and their peers has always been a priority. in the last eight years, analysis showed progress in closing the gap was slowing down to a point where it's now at a standstill. researchers found between 2017 and 2018, the gap has actually widened slightly by 0.2 months to 18.1 months, meaning poorer pupils are now 1.5 years behind their peers by gcse level, with larger gaps in parts of northern england of more than two years. the report also warns that black caribbean pupils have experienced particularly poor progress. in secondary schools, they're more likely to be in deficit than primary schools, with around 30% of secondaries in deficit. that's the age range where we're seeing the real problems with the gap stopping and potentially starting

to widen in future. at the current rate, the study predicts it will take 500 years to close the gap, but the government says the gap for both primary and secondary schools has narrowed overall since 2011, with nearly £2.5 billion spent supporting disadvantaged pupils this year alone. frankie mccamley, bbc news. the woman who runs one of the country's leading nhs child sleep services says we're in the middle of a "hidden public health crisis when it comes to sleep". professor heather elphick says the full scale of children with sleeping problems is worse than previously thought, and she's launched a pioneering scheme in sheffield which has helped 800 children get more sleep. louis lee ray reports. jackie and her twin daughters live near leeds. jessica and jasmine are four and they've always struggled to sleep. it wasn't helped by a difficult start in life. they've suffered chronic recurring

illness and repeated hospital admissions, so the first few years were pretty tough. the girls' sleep got so bad, it was having a devastating effect on the whole family. i was planning to return to work after 12 months but there was no way i could return to work. according to the nhs, these girls are just two of the thousands getting help for sleep conditions. the girls were referred to the sleep clinic in sheffield, where nurses come up with a bedtime routine specific for each patient. the girls were diagnosed with restless legs. that often wakes them as they sleep, so they were prescribed a gentle sedative. jackie also stuck to the routine she'd worked out with the clinic. the clinic in sheffield is one of a small number of services around the uk and it's stretched. they see 800 new children a year and the situation is getting worse. it's postcode lottery when it comes to sleep services across the country. provision is very patchy.

we're in the midst of a hidden public health crisis when it comes to sleep. but things are looking up for the girls. after almost a year, jessica and jasmine have been given the all—clear from the service. i don't even really like talking about the days prior to sleep. but on a good night, we can walk out and then 12 hours later, they will wake up! you can see more on this story on the victoria derbyshire programme at 10 o'clock this morning on bbc two. carol is going to have the weather for us in about five minutes. one in every 25 children — the equivalent to one in each classroom — has sent, received or been asked to send sexual content to an adult online, the charity says snapchat, facebook and other facebook—owned apps are the most common sites where this takes place. we spoke to the parents of a 1a

year old who was abused. their identities have been hidden. ifirst found out when i received phonecall at work from the school saying that they needed to speak to me urgently about ben. so i went straight to the school, i walked in and it was just full of police and the heads of the school. basically, they just said he'd been groomed, which was a complete shock, because i didn't see it coming at all. i felt as though we'd failed as parents. like we'd not done ourjob. although, you know, there's nothing you can do if you don't know what's going on. he lost all his confidence completely, and i do think it will take a long, long time for him to build that confidence back and before he can trust anybody again. definitely, he suffers with panic attacks now. he has depression. it's heartbreaking.

from an outgoing, sporty person to see how he is today, totally different child. you can see the impact this can have not only on the child, but also the families of children who have been abused. we're joined now by andy burrows, head of child safety and online policy at the nspcc. good morning. the impact was very clear there. what is shocking is these new figures that have been released. one in every 25 children under the age of 17 has been contacted under the age of 17 has been co nta cted by under the age of 17 has been contacted by an adult and asked to send sexual content or to receive sexual content. why is this not being policed better? that is the absolute question here, isn't it? really what we have seen for a decade as social networks being able to make their own rules when it comes to what they do, if anything, to keep children safe. the figures we have released today is the

equipment of 200,000 children across the uk who have sent, received or been asked to send sexual messages and it speaks to what we already know, which is grimace can use the big social networks to very easily, very quickly contact significant numbers of children —— groomers. these sites act as the gateway for abusers, make the initial contact with children and migrate to an encrypted messaging site where the abuse is harder to detect, a livestreaming site where the visual nature of those platforms further intensifies the risks. so the reason action with social networks is so important is about choking off the supply and making it hard for groomers to contact children in the first place. do you worry the statistics collected, this one in every 25, it could be a lot worse than that? the assumption has to be if you ask your child about something they may or may not have done online, they mayjust not say. partly because of the reasons we are talking about. that certainly is a

concern. as part of this research, we did ask children not necessarily about their own experience, but about their own experience, but about whether children think it is common thinking about their friends to be getting these requests, to be asked to send or receive these messages. we did see much higher numbers of children say that. there certainly is a risk this is just the tip ofa certainly is a risk this is just the tip of a wider iceberg. when we talk about the practical things you alluded to, i am looking at what facebook has said. they have said, keeping young people safe on our platform is our top priority, we use advanced technology, work closely with the police to aggressively fight this type of content and protect young people. in a practical sense, what can youngsters themselves do, and we had from pa rents themselves do, and we had from parents who are beating themselves up parents who are beating themselves up thinking, why did we not know more? so our advice for parents is very simple, actually. just try and have regular conversations with your child about what they are doing online. the reason that is so important is we know that if you can

try and build that trusting relationship with your children, so when you are sat having dinner in the evening, you will ask how their day at school went, as what they did on mine, which websites did they visit? that builds up a trusting relationship and it means you can work through the practical steps about how to stay safe, things like does your child have the highest privacy settings, do they have geo— locations settings turned off on apps like snapchat? and so your child knows they can come to you because too often, we hear from children who felt embarrassed or worried about what has happened to them and that means they don't come for help and too often, that means the abuse can be sustained and it goes on for longer. there is education in schools and that is teaching about how to avoid this and privacy settings. i would imagine those of children understand a to accept friends of friends and things, but once one abuser gets

into one friendship group, it becomes a friend of a friend and you trust the wrong person. so these abusers are becoming more and more clever to get round the systems? that is a really important point. what we are talking about is the design of these at the friends of friends suggestions are making it easierfor friends suggestions are making it easier for groomers friends suggestions are making it easierfor groomers to be friends suggestions are making it easier for groomers to be able to make that initial contact with large numbers of children and that is why we would like to see the platform is why we would like to see the platforms now move forward in the next few months with an online harm speu next few months with an online harm spell and a regulator that has the powers to really tackle those design features —— palms bill. things like friend of friend suggestions and making platforms take out simple analysis, like groomers are contacting larger numbers of children, lots of friend requests are likely to be rejected and there is no obvious familial pattern

behind those relationships, that is simple analysis of the platforms could introduce today. we have concluded it is only f there is a regulatory requirement and it is the law to take that action that they will take those practical steps. we really need to see this government to make sure the platforms do this now. andy burrows, head of my safety at the nspcc, thank you. a home office spokesman said the home secretary is talking to technology firms this week to look at how we can make online platforms safer. it is time to take a look at the weather now. good morning, the weather is u nsettled, good morning, the weather is unsettled, thundery downpours with hale and gusty winds. that is because low pressure is driving the weather, bringing in heavy showers and we have very gusty winds across the english channel and areas

adjacent to it. during the day, low pressure bringing in heavy, thundery showers, and it moves north eastwards but we have showers in northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england and home—grown showers north across scotland where it isa showers north across scotland where it is a foggy start and you will hang onto that during the day. across england, wales and northern ireland, we hang onto torrential downpours. we will not all see them, the black circles indicate the wind we expect. breeze in full leaf and if you are camping for the school holidays, it is something worth bearing in mind. the driestand brightest conditions across north east scotland and north east england with fewer showers around. temperatures down and yesterday, at best, 23 in aberdeen and in norwich. this evening and overnight, low pressure continues to move north eastwards. still bringing heavy, sunny downpours. gusty winds. through the north of that, more low

cloud, mist and fog returning where we don't have it remaining. and temperatures, 12—60d. on wednesday, we still have the slow movement of this low pressure towards the north sea. slacker isobars, but still blustery around those showers. again, they are showers and not all of us will catch one, but if you do, they could be heavy and thundery and we could see them in scotland, northern ireland and north wales, as well as northern england. it is dry across the south and south wales compared to what we expected a. temperatures down a touch, widely 19 or21. on temperatures down a touch, widely 19 or 21. on thursday, temperatures down a touch, widely 19 or21. on thursday, low temperatures down a touch, widely 19 or 21. on thursday, low pressure pushes into the north sea, but we do have this weather front very close to the east coast, meaning more showers and a fair bit of cloud. as temperatures rise during the day, more home—grown showers will develop and some of those could also be heavy and thundery across scotland and northern england. but for northern ireland, for most of wales and southern england, looking at a

drier day and a slightly warmer day as temperatures climb to 2a. as for the next few days, friday, saturday and sunday, a mixture of sunshine and sunday, a mixture of sunshine and showers, but one thing you will notice is the wind will be lighter, the temperature slightly higher and it will feel warmer generally. no storms on the horizon but the met office once names for the new round office once names for the new round of storms that are coming. new line thatis of storms that are coming. new line that is right. for the first time, they are being joined by a dutch national forecasting service and they are inviting you to suggest names for the storms and the list will be published in september this yearfor will be published in september this year for this season's storms, what would you choose? carol! i would go for something like rambo! it shows it will be big and strong.

and interestingly at the moment in the east pacific not far away from mexico, there is a tropical storm that could develop into quite a major hurricane but it is cold floss i e. major hurricane but it is cold flossie. it gives the wrong impression, it sounds like a rabbit ora impression, it sounds like a rabbit or a cuddly toy, not a hurricane! i'm surprised you haven't campaigned for brian adams! i wouldn't put that on him, but one of his songs. 0h, of his songs. oh, she is getting going now! what is the first line? can't stop this thing we started, but you can stop the hurricane permit the driving rain. i have an image of you sitting there and listening to him singing it to you! i would rather he sang everything i do, ido i would rather he sang everything i do, i do it for you. that is your ear went this morning,

you can thank carol for that! we are going outdoors now. if you imagine your average scout camp, you probably think of a coach trip away. but thousands of boys and girls from the uk are currently taking part in something a little bit more extravagent, in the mountains of west virginia. it's the 2ath world jamboree. mike was there. from across the world, they came, nearly 50,000 scouts from most of the countries on earth to make new friends, party and challenge themselves in dozens of sports. to west virginia usa, and a venue on a scale never seen before. look at the scale of this. just as these scouts have come from across the world,

so the whole movement has come so far since the first world scout jamboree in 1920, when there werejust 7,000 or 8,000 scouts. now there are far more than five times that number and here they are gathering for the opening ceremony. among them, this 1a—year—old from a refugee camp in kenya. he is here thanks to a foundation. to give more opportunities to people like him. it is fantastic. you meet different countries and it is cool to be friends and i come to know all the different countries. i have never seen them in discovering seeing them. no matter where we are we're still brothers and sisters. every scout has a digital wristband that helps them connect with each other and also reach the network of 50 million scouts around the world. bear grylls, a former scout himself, is here and he leads by example.

above all, scouting gave me friendships and a sense of pride. we see such a divided world in so many ways, you know. this, for me, is a real reminder that actually what bonds us together is much more than separates us. this stands for so much. almost 50% of the scouts here are now female. meeting different people has changed my life. we've met loads of different people from countries and learned about their cultures and it is helped me open my eyes to what my life is like and how it is different to other people's. you become neighbours with the world. the italians are setting up their tents here, next to the chileans. from the other side of the planet, thatis from the other side of the planet, that is the point, 200 countries are mixed up together. so you don't know who your neighbours will be. this is competitive as well.

you get more points the more activities you do. awards for if they are climbing sports, watersports or aerial sports. and this is the uk against colombia. and what better way to bond with new friends than with the teamwork needed in sport, and on a record—breaking scale? the largest zipline network in the world, the second—biggest skate park in the us. everything is now here to stay on this permanent site. ia million young people living in refugee camps and most of them do not have the opportunity for education. and because we think we are the biggest movement, youth movement for education, so we are trying to bring education to those kids. it means here in this city, they are as one, equally scouts. learning about each other and their own cultures, different nations through direct interaction whether it be through sport or sitting around and having a chat. under the setting sun.

it is such a great occasion! what a lovely way to get together with people! find out what is happening with you this morning. good morning. what a contrast in our weather between this week and last. the heat long gone and in pile the showers. a deep area of low pressure arriving today, strong and gusty winds as the slow works its way across the southern half of the uk but throwing bans of showers further north, quite wet prospects through the afternoon in parts of northern ireland and southern scotland. the showers to the north—west of scotla nd showers to the north—west of scotland more scattered, persistent mist and fog for the far north of scotla nd mist and fog for the far north of scotland and northern isles. let's ta ke scotland and northern isles. let's take a closer look close to the

heart of this low for the afternoon, winds along the south coast potentially gusting to a5 miles an hour, some of the showers will be thundery, you could even see local flooding as we could get up to 25—30 millimetres in some spots in a short space of time. pretty unremarkable temperatures for tuesday afternoon, perhaps the driest and brightest spots in east anglia of the north—east of scotland, temperatures 2a degrees. the focus of the shah this evening and overnight shifts into the midlands, northern england, southern scotland, clearer skies to the south, quite a muggy night, 15-16d but the south, quite a muggy night, 15—16d but nothing in contrast to last week. for wednesday, the low centre dry to drift out towards the north sea, taking the focus from the showers from the north across the uk, northern england getting some of the worst of them and through the course of the day we see them increasingly widespread across scotla nd increasingly widespread across scotland as well. try to the south,

lighter winds, a drier story for northern ireland. but we have the rain and the highs of 19 at best. for thursday, some charmers are rounded to the north and east of the uk, friday looks like a drier and quieter day for all of us.

this is business live from bbc news with maryam moshiri and ben thompson. the pound falls sharply — as investors worry over the prospect of a no—deal brexit. live from london, that's our top story on tuesday the 30th july. the british pound has fallen sharply, to a 30—month low against the us dollar. the reason... investor fears over a no—deal brexit. we will have the latest figures. also in the programme the chinese tech giant huawei unveils its latest numbers — but will its growth plans be dented by a us ban? in the markets, the markets are
